About UBC School of Journalism

UBC Graduate School of Journalism students come from countries all over the world. They specialize in key disciplines relevant to their future media careers. The trend towards over-simplification and “infotainment” in the news is shifting as an increasingly well-educated public demands sophisticated viewpoints and complex, inspired storytelling. The UBC Graduate School of Journalism's aim is to graduate journalists prepared to contribute meaningful public discourse across all forms of media.
